Check if SoundChannel is playing sound

Question

How to check reliably if a SoundChannel is still playing a sound?

For example,

[Embed(source=\"song.mp3\")]
var Song: Class;

var s: Song = new Song         


        

Answer 1

One of the ways to check if sound is still playing, and not using any managers, would be checking soundChannel.position in two consecutive enterFrame listener calls, if mismatched, then the sound is still playing.

private var oldPosition:Number;
function onEnterFrame(e:Event):void {
    var stillPlaying:Boolean;
    var newPosition=soundChannel.position;
    if (newPosition-oldPosition>1) stillPlaying=true; else stillPlaying=false;
    oldPosition=newPosition;
}
